I have a question regarding confession. In the Lutheran faith, they do have private confessions with their pastor and according to their beliefs, the pastor does absolve them of their sins. My question is, if I am in a state of mortal sin and I confess them to the Lutheran pastor and am absolved from my sins, would that clear the path for me to take communion? I know you can’t take communion in a state of mortal sin.
 
Hi,

The Catholic Church does not recognize the validity of Lutheran ordinations. So it does not consider the sacraments that Lutheran ministers administer to be valid, other than Baptism and the marriages between Lutherans.

Fr. Vincent Serpa, O.P.
